Dekmantel Podcast 444 - Surusinghe

Author: dekmantel October 16, 2023 Duration: 1:00:48
@surusinghe is one of many exciting Naarm/Melbourne artists to have broken through in the last couple of years. She has been working behind the scenes in the industry for a decade but only started to release her own music in 2022. Now based in London where she has co-founded the Phenomena label, she has an international mix of influences that make her club-ready sounds utterly thrilling. They all draw on the fact that she is a clubber first and foremost, and one proud of her Sri Lankan heritage. She goes big over the course of an hour for us this week and threads together plenty of body-popping rhythms from dembow to techno to wobbly London dubstep. She drops in several of her own tunes, one of which is unreleased, as are two others from Doctor Jeep and Tom Kami. It's a fresh and futuristic workout of high-octane sound from an adventurous DJ who always brings the party in fresh new ways.

For years, the Dekmantel Mix Series Archive 1-500 has served as a deep, curated well of sonic exploration, directly from the heart of the renowned Dutch festival and label. This isn't just a collection of DJ sets; it's a living archive of electronic music's evolving narrative, capturing moments from both legendary figures and vital new voices. Each episode functions as a standalone journey, where genres like techno, house, electro, and ambient blur and converse. You'll hear meticulously crafted mixes that range from hypnotic and atmospheric to rhythmically driving, all united by a distinct sense of curation and mood. Tuning into this podcast is like having access to a privileged vault of musical continuity, released regularly for dedicated listeners. The archive format means there's always a previous chapter to discover, a hidden gem from a past installment that feels newly relevant. It's a long-form dedication to the art of the mix, offering a consistent and rich source of inspiration whether you're at home or on the move. The bi-weekly schedule ensures a steady flow of these immersive sessions, making this series a foundational listen for anyone invested in the deeper currents of electronic music culture.
